"My truth. I wasn't in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring," Jones said in one tweet. In another, the singer said group members were told to "sleep with whoever they say. If you don't they have nothing on you to leverage."

My truth.I wasn’t in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring.Oh & we happened to sing & be famous. While everyone who owned us made the $

Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin told The Blast that Jones' allegations are "disgusting, ridiculous lies" and that the singer is "clearly looking for her 15 minutes [of fame]."

Antin claims Jones was just on trial and never an official member of the group.

The Pussycat Dolls began in 1995 as a Los Angeles burlesque troupe. With an ever-changing roster, the group grew in popularity thanks to occasional celebrity performers, such as actress Christina Applegate, and magazine photo shoots for Playboy and Maxim.

In 2003, Antin struck a deal with Interscope Records to develop the Dolls into a musical act, bringing in a completely separate group of performers to front the "girl group," which would go on to have Billboard Top 20 hits in "Don't Cha," "Stickwitu," "Beep" and "Buttons."
